Hitchcoc There's nothing much to say. People who have lost limbs are exploited on film. What they do with what they have is pretty remarkable. But if they had been exposed like this in the real world, the next thing that would be picked up would not be an arm or a leg; it would be a head or a carcass or worse. I agree with the guy who can't fathom the sick individual that came up with this idea. I have no interest in talking plot elements.
Manfred-7 I didn't mean to watch this movie when my friends of "SunFlower Tavern Association" (which gathers all the people like we are) came up with it, but then we were all very happy. Finally we've got to watch a movie where WE get our revenge against "normal" people. While watching this movie we felt like our armless condition is not a handicap, but actually a weapon to fight against a common enemy, which is intolerance. Two crippled guys, enemies at the very beginning of the story, find a way to combat the society (represented by the evil master who put them into their condition) joining their forces and martial abilities. Joe Law leaves us in a very opened ending because there will be always a new enemy to challenge with and we'll have to join our ideals to keep overcoming those racists. I'd like the reality was like this movie, all the people could live together to build a better world, and we wouldn't be that ashamed only because Mother-Nature (the evil master) gave us this "different gift".
aggie80 Let's see, what do we have: Old recluse teacher type, check. Bizarre training regimine, check. Tea house scene, check. Evil bad guy with secret problem, check. Bolo Yeung, hmmm missed on this point, but there is at least one wannabe. Actor with face painted a weird shade of white/green, check.Unusual items that make this one different? Never seen the butt used with such force before! The use of too handicapped individuals was very different, one with a limited stump of an arm instead of two and one with two fairly useless legs.All in all very typical of the genre. Fight scenes abound linked together with a bit of a plot. The most interesting part was watching the two heroes work their way around doing daily tasks.
broaf People dis on this movie, but let me tell you something: If you see one movie, EVER, let it be this. If I had 50b thumbs, every last one of them would be up. I mean how can you go wrong with a line like, "Funny... most people sleep in beds, but I... I sleep in steamer baskets."Enough said.
